ISLAMABAD:
Nutritionist of Pakistan Armed Forces (PAF) Hospital Dr Nosheen Abbas said on Saturday that pink Himalayan salt excavated from Khewra mines is a healthy option to regular table salt.
Sodium also plays an important role in several biological functions, including fluid balance, nerve conduction and muscle contraction.
Before it reaches your grocery store, table salt also goes through a refining process to remove impurities and any other minerals besides sodium chloride.
She said anticaking agents are sometimes added to help absorb moisture, and iodine is often included to help consumers prevent iodine deficiency.
The pink Himalayan salt is hand-extracted and minimally processed to yield an unrefined product that is free of additives and thought to be much more natural than table salt.
She said the natural harvesting process allows pink Himalayan salt to possess many other minerals and trace elements that are not found in regular table salt.
